Covering Ears to Steal a Bell
有人欲偷铃，恐铃声被人闻，乃掩己耳而盗之——自欺而以他人亦聋。
A thief covers his own ears to steal a bell, thinking others will not hear—self-deception treated as shared deafness.
掩耳盗铃：自欺不能改事实——捂住自己的耳，挡不住别人的听。真正的风险处理是面对声响，不是假装无声；自欺的成本常由众人代付。可与指鹿为马并读：一个骗己，一个逼人。今日：屏蔽通知不等于问题消失。
Covering ears to steal a bell: self-deceit cannot rewrite fact—your muffled ears don’t mute the world. Risk work faces the sound; it doesn’t pretend silence. Today: muting alerts is not solving the problem.
After the moral, ask one question: if a similar choice showed up today, where does the story snag? Name that tension first—then take your own step. You need not copy the ancients, only borrow their clarity.
